I thank Gov. Mitt Romney for running for president. He had to run against the president, some of his own party, the media and some who have forgotten what the Constitution stands for.

I totally agree with what Romney said about the reason he lost the race. I am disappointed with the Republicans who are jumping ship and throwing the messenger under the bus. The Republican Party needs to stand behind its principles and stand tough.

We need our Congress to do what they are elected for, and that is to support the Constitution and the people they represent and not their party.
